Red Snapper fry/ Sankara Meen Varuval

Hope you liked my yesterday's recipe - Red Snapper Fish Curry. In order to go with that, I wanted to share a fish fry as side dish. Fish fry is usually prepared with all size fishes namely Anchovies, King Fish/ King Mackerel, Red Snapper, Tilapia, Sea Bass,etc., It all tastes good with fish curry.

When I went to the fish market this time, I found fresh red snapper and a good butcher. He did an awesome job cutting the fish - clean and steak. But my last time red snapper shopping experience was gross. So I thought of sharing this recipe which I am tasting it after many days.

Recipe:

• Prep time - 15 mins for mixing and 2 hours  ( For best results, marination time should be at least 2 hours)
• Cooking time - 7 mins
• Serves - 3

Ingredients:

• Red Snapper - 1 and half pound ( cut into thin slices)
• Ground Red chili pepper - 2 tablespoon
• Ground Coriander - 1 tablespoon
• Ground turmeric - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt to taste 
• Oil for shallow frying
• Lemon ( optional after cooking)

Method:

• Cut and wash the fish pieces.

• Add the all the ingredients except oil and lemon and mix the fish pieces well in the spices. Keep it marinated.
• Heat oil in a saucepan over high heat. Once is oil is heated enough, add the marinated fishes one by one.
• Cook it for 3.5 mins over medium and high flame. Flip it slowly and cook the other side too.
• Once the fish is cooked, serve it hot. Lemon may be squeezed.

I will share another interesting recipe in my next post. Your suggestions and feedbacks are welcome.
